Sites We Like: Corpus Libris

There’s a big, wonderful world of bookish websites out there. In this column, we point you to some of our favorites.

Since 2008, bookseller Emily Pullen (then at LA’s Skylight Books, now manager at WORD Brooklyn) has been mixing books with bodies at her blog Corpus Libris. It’s a simple concept executed elegantly, and it’s a ton of fun. The photos are below are just a few of the delights to be found in Corpus Libris’ five years of archives. Head on over to check out the rest, and follow Emily on Twitter @corpuslibris for book news and all her latest posts.
